How Narrow-Band Ultraviolet B (NB-UVB, 311 nm) Whole Body Phototherapy is performed
Narrow-band UVB 311 nm irradiates the whole body or part of the body through a specific wavelength to regulate skin immunity and promote pigment production. Before treatment, assess skin type and photosensitivity, and measure the minimum erythema dose if necessary. After entering the phototherapy cabin, gradually increase the dose, wear goggles and protect sensitive areas, and the irradiation time is determined by the equipment and reaction. The treatment is performed in outpatient visits in multiple sessions. Postoperative observation includes reactions such as erythema and dry itching, with the goal of controlling activity and promoting repigmentation. The above is general health information, not medical advice; the specific information is subject to specialist evaluation and hospital plan.
